The Harvard Graduate Student Government, colloquially known as "the HGSG" and formerly known as the "Harvard Graduate Council" or "HGC", is the university-wide representative student government for the twelve graduate and professional schools of Harvard University. The HGSG is responsible for advocating student concerns to central administrators - including the President of Harvard University, Provost, Deans of Students, and Deans for the nearly 15,000 graduate and professional students across the twelve schools, organizing large university-wide initiatives and events, administering and providing funding for university-wide student groups (USGs),[1][2] and representing the Harvard graduate student population to other universities and external organizations.[3] The HGSG has become well known for creating and executing on advocacy initiatives and events focused on the "One Harvard" movement.[4][5] The HGSG also interfaces with its undergraduate counterpart, the Harvard Undergraduate Council.
